about the artists:
Michael J DeMeo is a photographer living and working in Portland, Oregon. Preferring analog over digital DeMeo´s images are low-fi and intimate; indeed many of his subjects maintain a personal relationship with him outside of photography. From 2007-2009 DeMeo worked as curator of photography at Sugar Gallery in Portland Oregon. "My photos are mostly auto-biographical. I take pictures of the people and places in my life, and some events are more hyperbolic than others, but they are all about my life."

Ariane Geffard living and working in Paris, France:
"When I was five, my father offered me a compact camera. My friend Anna was the first person I shot. I didn't know how she could pose for me. I just asked her to take off her dress. She kept it in her hand to prevent it to get dirty. Since, I always have a camera in my bag. I try not to hustle the intimacy of people I shot. Confidence that they put in me is essential."
